pipewire strage behavior at boot/login

Hey friends,

After a long arch hiatus I have returned! It was inevitable, ha! Anyway…

I have a fresh installation of Arch as of yesterday. I am using plasma(x11) with sddm. I have plasma configured to play a login sound. For sound, I’m using pipewire with wireplumber.

When I boot the computer and then login, the sound/chime is inaudible unless I press the mute/unmute key on my keyboard. However, the icon in the systray looks as though the sound _should_ work without me having to do this; that is to say, the icon appears as though the sound is unmuted.

If I /don’t/ do this, eventually sound will just start working as expected, maybe after a few seconds or a minute.

Anyone have any idea how I can troubleshoot getting this to work at boot/login without having to intervene with the mute/unmute keys?

Thanks!
